Re: [Declude.Virus] Commtouch/Temp files going back to last year?

Hi David,

A while ago I was told these can be deleted almost immediatly but the 
running DecludeProc service has them locked so it will be needed to stop 
DecludeProc, remove the temp files and then start Declude proc.

As part of my nightly routine I have now:
--quote---
Set LogFile=C:\Beheer\Logs\CleanTemp.log
echo %Date% %Time% Starting CleanTemp  %LogFile%
Del /Q C:\IMail\declude\invuribl\Exception\*.*
Del /Q C:\IMail\WebDir\WebClient\temp\*.*
del /Q C:\IMail\Spool\tmp*.tmp
net stop Decludeproc
Del /Q C:\IMail\declude\scanners\CommTouch\Temp\*.*
Del /Q C:\IMail\spool\proc\work\*.smd.tmp
net start Decludeproc
echo %Date% %Time% End CleanTemp  %LogFile%
exit

Thanks, I'll make it part of my monthly job that deletes files older than 30
days - that's tight enough for me.

 

Of course, Declude or Commtouch should be cleaning up after itself (e.g.,
whenever new files/signatures are downloaded) - but that's a different
story.

Thanks - downloaded and installed.

I'll have to take a look at the integrated Sniffer. I got pulled away and
never got back to it.

I'll have to take a good luck at the rulebase update - on first glace it
seems as if your script is leaving out the crucial SNF2CHECK to make sure
that the downloaded rulebase is valid BEFORE replacing it. So I'll have to
look at it very carefully.

Andy,

The script cannot call snf2check for the embedded SNF because that would 
expose the OEM rulebase.


The SNF engine performs the SNF2CHECK task before it accepts a new 
rulebase so it's ok to leave that out of the update script in OEM 
integrations of the SNF engine.


In fact, the getRulebase.cmd script need not be used at all by an OEM -- 
they can use their own facility. However in this case I recommended 
strongly that Declude use a modified getRulebase script so that Declude 
customers could modify it to perform additional tasks in the way they 
are used to.


Hope this helps,

Best,

_M

RE: [Declude.Virus] Integrated Sniffer

2010-03-19 Thread Andy Schmidt
Hi Pete:

Thanks for jumping in.

1.  The SNF engine performs the SNF2CHECK task before it accepts a new
rulebase 

I'm a little confused - the script replaces the rulebase - without checking.
So what happens if the rulebase is bad. By the time the engine checks the
good one is already rename and the bad one is already called .snf

if exist %LICENSE_ID%.old del %LICENSE_ID%.old
if exist %LICENSE_ID%.snf rename %LICENSE_ID%.snf %LICENSE_ID%.old
rename %LICENSE_ID%.new %LICENSE_ID%.snf

2. I assume I can still just update the XML file to move the logfiles,
rulebase and workspace to its own subfolders to keep things tidy and for
improved maintainability?

log path='[PATH]\declude\scanners\SNF\logs\'/
rulebase path='[PATH]\declude\scanners\SNF\rulebase\'/
workspace path='[PATH]\declude\scanners\SNF\work\'/

Best Regards,
Andy

If the rulebase does not properly authenticate in the SNF engine then 
the reload is rejected.
Once the guard time expires the update script will be run again (by 
default after 3 minutes).

 As far as I know that should be ok -- but you need to check with 
Declude on that first. They may have certain expectations built into 
their software and/or their support process.

reload is rejected.
Once the guard time expires the update script will be run again (by default
after 3 minutes). 

Which also means, if the corrupt rulebase persists and the server or
services happen to be restarted during those times, we have a potential
problem because upon restart it won't have a good rulebase to fall back on.

So there's definitely a (calculated) risk in NOT checking the rulebase
BEFORE renaming it.

RE: [Declude.Virus] Commtouch/Temp files going back to last year?

2010-03-19 Thread David Barker
This is the answer directly from Commtouch:

 

You can safely stop commtouch [declude] and delete all of these files.  If
any are needed, the application will download them again, but any handled in
this matter should be a few days old.  Usually Commtouch will clean up these
files on its own, but at times problems do develop due to the index.dat
file.  If you see any .tmp files older than a month, it is a good sign that
a delete should be done to clean up these temp files.

DecludeProc should probably just delete that folder content when the service
is restarted the first time before the first email is processed. Then
CommTouch can reinitialize itself subsequently.

If the rulebase does not properly authenticate in the SNF engine then the
   

reload is rejected.
Once the guard time expires the update script will be run again (by default
after 3 minutes).

Which also means, if the corrupt rulebase persists and the server or
services happen to be restarted during those times, we have a potential
problem because upon restart it won't have a good rulebase to fall back on.

So there's definitely a (calculated) risk in NOT checking the rulebase
BEFORE renaming it.
   


That's true -- but the risk is very small.

Hi Andy,

What tool are you using to specify x days old when deleting? Or are you 
allready using Powershell?

  Thanks, I'll make it part of my monthly job that deletes files older than 30 
days - that's tight enough for me.

   

  Of course, Declude or Commtouch should be cleaning up after itself (e.g., 
whenever new files/signatures are downloaded) - but that's a different story.

  Hi David,

   

  A while ago I was told these can be deleted almost immediatly but the 
running DecludeProc service has them locked so it will be needed to stop 
DecludeProc, remove the temp files and then start Declude proc.

   

  As part of my nightly routine I have now:

  --quote---

  Set LogFile=C:\Beheer\Logs\CleanTemp.log
  echo %Date% %Time% Starting CleanTemp  %LogFile%
  Del /Q C:\IMail\declude\invuribl\Exception\*.*
  Del /Q C:\IMail\WebDir\WebClient\temp\*.*
  del /Q C:\IMail\Spool\tmp*.tmp
  net stop Decludeproc
  Del /Q C:\IMail\declude\scanners\CommTouch\Temp\*.*
  Del /Q C:\IMail\spool\proc\work\*.smd.tmp
  net start Decludeproc
  echo %Date% %Time% End CleanTemp  %LogFile%
  exit
  --quote---

Hi,

 

That folder has over 1,000 files, some several MB large, CTM*.tmp, 
CTENG*.tmp and CTENG*.dat.

 

How old do these files have to be, before I can safely delete them?

 

Best Regards,

If you're looking for something ready-made and don't need anything
extra I used to have good luck with delold.

Googling for it will get you there.

I have a similar routine that I run, but I utilize a batch file that
uses the command line forfiles utility. It was part of the windows
resource kits and takes parameters like /d -7 which would affect files
with a modification date of 7 days ago.

 No I have a little cscript I wrote that iterates through subdirectories and
 takes parameters like /lastweek  /lastmonth etc.
